Hello,
I am trying to drive 5 pairs of in-wall speakers from an Onkyo receiver using a 6-pair speaker selector (this one, if it matters: http://www.nextag.com/Pyle-PSPVC6-6-...60/prices-html)
The speaker selector manual says: "If you connect more than one pair of speakers, see 'impedance chart' on p. 6 to select the best terminals to connect. For best performance, make the connections based on how frequently you use each set of speakers." The chart on p. 6 shows impedance decreasing the more speakers are connected, which makes sense to me. What doesn't make sense is, the chart actually lists all the possible combinations of "on" speakers, A+B, A+C, A+D, B+C, etc. ... but still, for any given number of connected speakers, all possible combinations map to the same impedance.
So what is the manual trying to tell me? Does it matter what order I connect the speakers in, or doesn't it? I was going to connect them in descending order of frequency of use (from A always on, downward), just for intuition in using the buttons, but does it matter at all?
thanks in advance!
